After half a century, Ferrari returns to the top class of the WEC (World Endurance Championship). The most famous race of this competition is the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 2023 Ferrari LMH prototype is currently in the final testing phase.

The news about the new Ferrari LMH prototype was confirmed at the beginning of the year by the head of Ferrari Attività Sportive GT, Antonello Coletta, saying that this is a big step forward for Ferrari, which will compete in the LMH class from 2023. Testing is taking place at the Fiorano track , and published photos of the camouflaged car don’t show much.

An experienced AF Corse team will be in charge of Ferrari’s LMH prototypes. “We are proud of this announcement. It is the crowning of a dream and recognition of the great effort made over the years. Our partnership with Ferrari is a winning one that began in 2006, and I am delighted to continue it in the LMH project. We have immediately kicked off with great enthusiasm aiming to raise the bar even further and to be ready for this new challenge,” said AF Corse team owner Amato Ferrari.

When it comes to the powertrain, it is known that the car will be a hybrid. Ferrari did not release more information. Thus, Ferrari will join Toyota and Peugeot, which have announced their participation in the top class of the WEC. Ferrari hopes that LMH will have the same success as the F430 GT2, which won all three titles in its debut season (team, drivers and constructors).
